Spence was among eight Lions players to kneel during the anthem. He even took to his Instagram account to post a picture of him kneeling with his teammates, which included Ameer Abdullah and Tahir Whitehead.

He has also been vocal on Twitter about the protests, calling out President Donald Trump and reiterating he won't just stick to sports.

Spence signed with the Lions during the offseason after spending four years with the Buccaneers. He said he made the decision to kneel in last Sunday's game in response Trump's comments about players kneeling during the anthem.
